Taylor Swift Returning to The Graham Norton Show to Talk About “The Life of a Showgirl”

On September 17, 2025, the BBC confirmed that Taylor Swift will return to The Graham Norton Show’s iconic red sofa. Her appearance is scheduled for a live broadcast in London at 10:40 p.m. local time on October 3, 2025 — the same day her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, is released.

Joining Swift on that episode will be actors Cillian Murphy and Greta Lee, plus Jodie Turner-Smith and Domhnall Gleeson, who will participate in Graham Norton’s signature group interview. Singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi is set to perform, and the show will serve as the second episode of season 33.

Swift is no stranger to Norton’s program. She first guested in 2013 following the release of Red, and her brief, pointed exchange with John Cleese about cats and women in 2014 went viral. She returned in 2019 to perform “Me!” and appeared again in 2022 for a conversation that included Norton and Eddie Redmayne.

The Graham Norton appearance is part of Swift’s promotional run for The Life of a Showgirl, which she announced in August during an episode of the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce. For the 12-track LP she reunited with frequent collaborators Max Martin and Shellback, crafting a brighter, more upbeat pop record built around catchy, hook-driven melodies.

She told the New Heights hosts that the sessions left her “mentally stimulated and excited,” and that the album leans toward fun, high-energy pop with irresistibly catchy melodies she’s proud of.

With the October 3 appearance approaching, fans can revisit Taylor’s past Graham Norton moments and watch for new interviews and performances tied to the release of Showgirl.
